occupational series/grade level, as well as alternatives to meeting specified requirements.
The preferred minimal education and experience for Radiation Protection personnel is:

Engineering, or a related physical science; or meet the alternative requirements for
engineers or scientists specified in the Qualification Standards Handbook.
2.
Experience:
Industrial, military, Federal, State, or other directly related background that has provided
specialized experience in Radiation Protection. Specialized experience can be
demonstrated through possession of the competencies outlined in this Standard.
In addition to the education and experience stated above, certification by the American
Board of Health Physics (ABHP) is highly recommended, and typically may serve as the
basis for equivalency for the competencies in the "General Technical" section of this
Standard. Successful completion of ABHP certification examination Part I or National
Registry of Radiation Protection Technologists (NRRPT) certification may serve as the
basis for equivalency for competencies 1-5 in the "General Technical" section of this
Standard.
REQUIRED TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES
The competencies contained in this Standard are distinct from those competencies contained in
the General Technical Base Qualification Standard. Radiation Protection personnel should satisfy
the competency requirements of the General Technical Base Qualification Standard prior to or in

statements defines the level of expected knowledge and or skill that an individual must posses to
meet the intent of this Standard. The supporting knowledge and/or skill statements further
